I have read through threads on the Cloth room- and found the clues to make my simulation work. Thanks! But how do I save it? The results are not saved with the PZ3 as far as I can tell. I hate the idea of having to recreate the final results again-if I want to render once I close the file...

I find the file ....Priest_Dress.dyn ( 9.7 mb)- how do I reload this?

You don't, you load the pz3.

When you reload the pz3 it will come in at frame 0, all you have to do is move the slider to your end frame, usually 30 for me with dynamic cloth.

In P7 it not always works. Sometimes dyn file is loaded with pz3 sometimes not. I do not know what is the reason.

You can also save the dynamics with a morph.  At the end frame,making sure your clothing is selected under Props,  select Object in the top menu, then Spawn Morph, give it a name and you will see it then in your Parameters.  Move the Frame back to 01 and be sure to save the prop.

Also, save your figure pose at frame 30 or the ending frame. Then, create a new workspace, load your figure, load your prop.  Pose the figure in the correct pose and change the morph setting on your cloth you saved to 1.000.

:) 

You can also export the prop at the frame you want, and import , then save as a new prop.

Thanks Shuy, Irish, TheFixer and Markshum!

I have exported the prop morph. The last few times I tried this- re-opening the PZ3 and moving the slider did nothing- that's why I asked. And the dyn and PZ3 are both in the same folder

 Thanks again

 Well in this case it lost the simulation BEFORE I closed the file. I got a Can't Load Texture message- which I had to click on "OK" for many times- before the preview returned. Without the cloth simulation.....

Here is what I do when I use dynamic cloth in a still image. After the simulation is done, spawn a morph target for the object, then delete the simulation and sent frames back to zero. Then I repose and set the slider for the morph target on the object to one, viola.

CHeck Ockham page. There is python script dynamic to morph. It can add morphs to every animated frme.

I've looked for this on Ockham's python page and his Sharecg listings but never found it.  Where should I be looking or should I just message Ockham?

Good question parkdalegardener!

EDIT:

 I deleted all previous dyn files- created a new simulation- I saw temp files- saved the PZ3. THIS time when I opened the PZ3 it found the dyn
